Try puting the CDRW on the promise card
Hey, u know IDE controller card (highpoint, promise,....) don't really support ATAPI devices so my recommanded setup was to connect all cdroms to mb IDE controllers.
Here's the recommended setup:
mb IDE1: DVD-ROM
mb IDE2: CD-RW
promise IDE1:80GB
promise IDE2:45GB
Remember to set all device as master~~
And as always update to the latest BIOS and chipset driver~~
Also remember to get the most recent version of whatever cd burning program u're using~~

I'd just like to add that I agree 100% with that... Only possible change would be to have the CD-RW as IDE1 and the DVD-ROM as IDE2, but that's just a matter of preferance. Newumbrella is absolutely correct that not all PCI add-in cards fully support ATAPI.
